 The best book on interpersonal relationships within an organizationNov 16, 2009
After completing the first few chapters of the book I've got a feeling that mr. Welch is not good teacher, i.e. he cannot lay out the practices that helped him to succeed in GE. But after finishing this book I've changed my mind. Since that, I became sure that it is the best book on interpersonal relationships within an organization, ever written in English.
I am familiar with his previous book, "Straight from the gut", that was written in a very powerful tone. "Winning", in contrast, has a much softer tone, and resembles works by management consultants. But unlike the other books, this one covers basic interactions between the people in an outstanding way. And it doesn't matter what is the rank or seniority of the people. It equally applies to the front-line workers and to the bosses, and for all of them it would be helpful.
There are some readers that are disappointed by the book; they are comparing it with such titles as "Execution" by Larry Bossidy or "Good to Great" by Jim Collins. I think it is not practical to compare the books, since "Winning" is mostly about the way how people deal with each other, while two books above mentioned cover higher-level problems of organizations.
I only give five stars to few exceptional books, but this is the book to deserve it, because good books on interpersonal relations within an organization are very scarce. If you like this topic, I can recommend the books by Ronald Heifetz in addition to this book.
If you hate reading printed books, I can recommend an unabridged CD version, published by HarperAudio. It also contains valuable bonus tracks, where Jack Welch is interviewed by the CEO of HarperAudio.
 Waiting for the product.Oct 06, 2009
I still don't have any comment about this book, because I've been waiting for it more than a month ago. Does anybody knows when I'm going to receive this book?

 OKSep 23, 2009
I think people gush over this book more than it deserves simply because Jack W wrote it. It certainly isn't "the last business book that will ever need to be written" though it's worth a quick read.

I did not like itJul 02, 2009
This is one of many books giving suggestions on how to run company more efficiently, I did not read anything I have not heard before.
hard hitting business thoughtMar 29, 2009
CANDOR! in my opinion this is the main point of this book. in this pc and hurt-no-feelings country, it would be good to hear truth. both the political and business world, candor would produce better results than always trying to be seen as the nice guy. nice is good, but we all want to finish first.
